Actually Marty, there’s 3.5 acres of flat land at the bottom of the property that I’m considering opening a greenhouse for heirloom tomatoes.... we shall see... or maybe growing wild rice.... it’s @ 16$ a pound up here right now....I’m awskeView attachment 84390
There’s no such thing.I haven’t had good tomato’s in two years
Last year I grew indeterminate tomatoes that were 12-14 foot high. I use the French cordon method (same thing they use in greenhouses). Tomatoe vine, using wire/rope to train the vines up.... this year I’ve been busy between work/children/house, they are only 7-9 feet high. I’ve got 35 lbs of tomatoes ready to be canned/sauced right now in my fridge. I’m busy as heck right now, but there’s only 24 hrs in a day....I haven’t had good tomato’s in two years
If you’ve got problems with blight, you need to be feeding you’re tomatoes a balanced diet, including calcium, aswell as spraying them with a solution of 50/50 milk and H20, and picking the tomato horn worms.

If you’re growing tomatoes in the open where you got LOTS of rain, put shade cloth, or poly protection over them. Never water the foliage, trim the first 8-12 inches of the leaves off. Make sure you have proper spacing/ airflow around each plant, and trim ANYTHING that’s more than 50% wilted. Make sure you are feeding them a balanced diet regularly.... I grew tomatoes on the west coast of Canada for 15 years.... I learned the hard way( rain for 2-3 months straight)....Will that stop the rain?
seriously though...early blight and rain just made me decide against trying to save them. So I gave them to the hornworms.
Got shit tons of peppers though
That’s awesome. EVERYONE should know hoe to grow their own food....good advice

and I mean that in the sense that I'm just not concerned about the tomatoes this year.........I've been growing and tending to tomatoes in a garden pretty much all my life
Sorry, Freudian slip... how, hoe.....That’s awesome. EVERYONE should know hoe to grow their own food....
